    The place that has what you need
    Tawnya G.

    Place is great. If you are worried about dark streets only go during the day time. Night can be sketch but we felt totally safe. A homeless lady turned us onto this spot. So glad too because CVS and Walgreens wasn't doing it for us. Get all your needs up in here.

    Never seen it in a tall boy can. Thumbs up from me

    I didn't have any problems here the 3-4 times I wondered in here. Shame I was staying almost across the street and this spot does not come up when u yelp search. So this is a liquor store, beer, wine, check cashing in the back, and snacks. I was just fussing to my babe about some spot charging me $10 for a beer when I spotted this place. Line is long and yep there are folks outside drinking beer out of paper bags. Half of the folks were tourists and invited me to get a beer n join them. I did btw lol. So good beer selection and not just Louisiana beer which I'm not a fan of. I got me a tall can of voodoo ipa and a bag of cheetos for $3. Now we re talking. They have a big checkout screen u can see the prices for everything. Takes card or cash. Cashier even tried to find some nacho combos for me. Aw well. Cheetos worked. I stood outside with my brown bag n chopped it up with some Ohio state fans. Hidden gem. Come on by. Just don't block the entrance. It gets a lot of traffic.

    Tons of mirrors and on-site security.

    This place is sketchy as hell but they cash checks for super cheap and do money orders FOR FREE! Western Union is cheap and fairly quick. Look, you will most likely get hustled going in and out of the store but just keep your wits about you, don't engage in conversation with drunkies, and keep your purse close to your side. The clerks are good about getting you in and out quickly. Parking is pretty much impossible so park a few blocks away and walk or do as I do and bike (just make sure you lock it up).

    I like this place- busy and wild crowd at night but they have good & friendly security guards. Nola chip brands are yum

    It's a liquor store! The lady at the counter was very helpful and I left thinking "I bet she has seen everything".

    Conveniently located but they jack the price up unfairly when they feel like it. Watch them when they ring you up when you buy alcohol.

    Central Grocery & Deli - Original Muffuletta Sandwich

    It's a very niche store. They focus heavily on the muffuletta, as they should, because it's…read moredelicious. Seriously. I could eat that olive salad with a spoon. The line stretched to the door, but we were out and headed to Jackson Square with our sandwich in less than 20 minutes. (So much better than sitting in the deli!). Inside you'll find a few spaces to eat your sandwich, with some chairs. The dining space is kind of an afterthought. Definitely take it to go and watch some street musicians. The bread holds up to the cold cuts and olive tapenade. We ordered 1.5 sandwiches and didn't even crack open the half sandwich, 2 adults, 2 teenagers, and one kid. We also shared a pistachio cheesecake, which was delicious. I'd eat this sandwich any day. So. Good.

    I'm a New Orleans native living in Atlanta, who has worked in the service industry for 15 years. I…read morenever ever write reviews because I believe they hurt small businesses and feeds the egos of the ignorant, but that being said this place pissed me the fuck off with their service. I come to central deli whenever I'm with someone not from New Orleans due to the fact their muffuletta is quintessential! I would like to reiterate nothing was wrong with the food , great food purely with the lady taking orders. I got a classic half muffuletta and a "glass" San pellegrino. The lady then told me open glass is prohibited in New Orleans , I retorted with "o really I didn't know that , since when?" Before I could finish The lady then yelled with "SINCE FOREVER, IM SORRY YOUVE BEEN TO BAD BARS WHERE THEY SERVE YOU GLASS ITS BEEN ILLEGAL SINCE THE 50s" which isn't true the city changed the law in 2001. She then proceeded to open my glass bottle even though I told her I didn't want it open, so I the asked if I could get another one since she was in rage mode and didn't understand that she just contradicted herself. As I asked for the second San Pellegrino, she then takes the first one and goes "NO PROBLEM THANKS FOR THE FREE DRINK", and starts to drink the San Pellegrino infront of me as I check out, making thirst quenching noises like "AHH". As I leave she can't help but remind me for her free drink again. I'm pretty sure the management witness this whole situation and I hope they do something about, that lady doesn't realize what hospitality is and needs to be fired. I did nothing to her and I bet I wasn't the first she has blow up on. But in my eyes absolutely unacceptable.

Anything that you're looking for as far as health food they have There's so much to choose from I discovered Pam's lemon shortbread gluten-free cookies at the store and I ate a whole box once I couldn't get enough of their chicken salad from the deli A box gluten-free crackers, the chicken salad, and a couple of those cookies with a glass of unsweetened tea is one of my favorite meals!

During the first week of January, my lifelong friend visited Plush Appeal to purchase Mardi Gras decor for her out of state home. We are natives of New Orleans and were raised with the proper etiquette and respect for ourselves, others and community. We are proud graduates of an affluent Catholic high school and our class of women has made quite a positive impact in this world collectively. With that said, as my friend was shopping she interacted with one of the sales associates and had a lovely conversation. This particular sales associate then left the area. Within minutes two other sales associates approached my friend, accused her of stealing, and when my friend attempted to clear her name and prove her innocence, these women refused. They stated she was on camera and despite my friend asking multiple times for proof and to view the cameras, she was again refused her request. Apparently, two large men were then instructed to escort her out to which she stated she felt extremely uncomfortable. Several of her friends have reached out to the store. Ms. Vee was so nice! CeeCee though ... the manager... when I called to ask for clarification she became nasty and hung up. Long story short, nothing was stolen. If that were the case why not call the police or show the video? Most importantly to note are the differences in skin tones. My friend is an upper class African American female who was seemingly targeted for the color of her skin. Take your business elsewhere!
